The heavy-duty steel manacles tighten around my wrists. But Rhett knows what he is doing; they don’t pinch. My hands aren’t numb.

Rhett holds me down by the throat, leaning to set his lips by my ear.

My chest is rapidly rising and falling. I shiver, and my cock twitches.

“Funny, did you hope to use these chains on our Omega?” Rhett’s voice is low and precise. “You’re the one who is hunted. Now, I’ll teach you a lesson about what happens to feral Alphas who chase my Omega.”

He better.

I try not to show how secretly thrilled I am to be tied up in my nest in my own bondage.

I thrash harder, but all it does is buck me harder up against Rhett’s solid thighs.

Now that I am bound, the uncomfortable sensation of being sensory overloaded has settled.

Instead, skin to skin touch, which I normally can’t bear, is all I crave.

I stare up at Rhett hungrily.

I ache to feel his fingers scratching my scalp and tugging on my hair.

Something.

Then I sniff, catching the scent of my Omega.

Twisting my head to the side, I turn my hungry gaze on her.

She is wrapped in the arms of my Angel in a stream of sunlight in front of the window.

They are kissing, slow and gentle.

It is agony because I don’t want slow or gentle.

I can’t think straight.

My desire claws inside me.

I growl, rattling the chains.

“B-b-b…” I can’t form the word.

Bite….bite…bite…

My Omega appears to understand because she breaks the kiss, attempting to dive toward me with her neck bared.

I snarl in frustration when Angel grabs her around the waist and holds her back with a laugh.

“Not so fast, beautiful.” Angel exchanges a glance with Rhett. “I know that you’re ready for your ride. But not until he’s been tamed. Riding wild Alphas is too dangerous, especially ones who don’t have enough self-control to hold back from a bond bite.”

I curl my lip to show him what I reckon to that.

Then I am shocked by the mockingly light touch across my lips.

“Open up.” Rhett’s face is cold.

We are both ignoring how hard we are.

I glare back defiantly.
